Principle

This ELISA kit uses Competitive-ELISA as the method. The microtiter plate provided in this kit has been pre-coated with Chicken ACTH. During the reaction,Chicken ACTH in the sample or standard competes with a fixed amount of Chicken ACTH on the solid phase supporter for sites on the Biotinylated Detection Ab specific to Chicken ACTH. Excess conjugate and unbound sample or standard are washed from the plate, and Avidin conjugated to Horseradish Peroxidase (HRP) are added to each microplate well and incubated.Then a TMB substrate solution is added to each well. The enzyme-substrate reaction is terminated by adding Stop Solution and the color change is measured spectrophotometrically at a wavelength of 450 nm ± 2 nm. The concentration of Chicken ACTH T in the samples is then determined by comparing the OD of the samples to the standard curve.

Intended Use

This ELISA kit can be applied to the in vitro quantitative determination of Chicken ACTH concentrations in serum, plasma and other biological fluids.

Specificity

This kit recognizes some recombinant and natural Chicken ACTH. No significant cross-reactivity or interference was observed.

All reagents in this kit should be stored in accordance with the information on product labels. Unused wells should be returned to the foil pouch with the desiccant pack and resealed until air-tight. The Substrate Reagent should not be kept at -20°C. Avoid exposing reagents to strong light during storage or the incubation process. Caps of reagents should be kept tightly sealed to prevent evaporation and microbial contamination. Erroneous results may occur if reagents are not stored as advised above.

Caution must be taken to avoid contact with skin or eyes. In such a case, rinse thoroughly at once with water. Do not ingest, inhale, or swallow. Seek medical attention immediately. Wear appropriate protective clothing such as laboratory overalls, safety glasses and gloves. It is strongly advised that this product should be handled by people who have been well trained in laboratory techniques and that it is handled with care pursuant to the principles of good laboratory practice. All chemicals are deemed potentially harmful. Vials are prone to fall over. Use caution, especially when the lid is off .
